Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Let’s start off this week on a positive note! And in keeping with that theme, the weather seems to be cooperating with us today. We are supposed to be getting up to 23°C in temperature – definitely no complaining here! :)

Let’s start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with a pretty and springtime appropriate collection, our Theodore & Izzy Collection by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio. Theodore & Izzy is a very girly and feminine collection, decorated with lovely pastel florals, bees, and honey bears. This collection is sweet and gentle, perfect for a newborn’s nursery – imagine a matching crib comforter, bed skirt, rail protector, and curtains with Theodore & Izzy in a honey themed room! Complete the room with a couple of bear plush friends, a friendly bee mobile, & a cozy baby quilt and it will be the sweetest room for any little honey bear to grow up in :) This collection reminds us of all the things we are especially looking forward to in Spring such as walks to the park, weekend picnics, and tea parties!

And keeping in theme with all things pretty and sweet (in every best way!), celebrations are coming up too! That means fun Easter crafts, exciting Easter egg hunts, and of course all the delicious food to celebrate Passover and Easter! What better place to get all your inspiration from than at the Martha Stewart website – the epitome of all things yummy, creative, and pretty! It is the one-stop place for every sort of crafting or party-planning idea, from baby showers to holidays to girl’s night in!

Recently, Martha Stewart posted some Passover recipes, and for dessert no less (our favorite!). We cannot wait to try the chocolate cake with espresso glaze and matzo s’mores – um, yum!! She has also got you covered with her Passover entertaining tips. For Easter, she has shared some egg-cellent ideas on everything egg-related, from decorating hard-boiled eggs to egg recipes. Be sure to check that out too here! We are very much inspired, and egg-cited to start our own holiday party. Thanks, Martha! :)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday and have been inspired. You can check out our Theodore & Izzy by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio collection here. Have  an egg-static (haha last egg pun for today, promise!) rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!! It is such a beautiful day out, and we are feeling reenergized and great! Today is also National Pet Day so be sure to give your pets some extra lovin’ (…and a couple of extra treats too!)

When we aren’t finding inspiration on Pinterest, you can most often find us perusing Instragram – We LOVE coming across projects using our fabric collections! If you upload one, be sure to tag all your CF fabric projects with the hashtag #CamelotFabrics so that we can find them!! Seeing them always make our day :)

To end another fantastic week, we have our Fan Friday to share with you. Julie Mylander of the Quilty Sewing Blog created a Lil Monster Quilt with our Monster Mash by Heather Rosas Collection that is just the sweetest! When we saw this Lil Monster Quilt on Instagram, we got SO excited here in the office!!

Julie created this quilt for a co-worker’s niece who is having a baby boy, and decided to go with our Monster Mash Collection to fit the lil monster-themed nursery. Super cute!! She decided on a nine patch patchy 39″ x 46″ quilt design, and all the colors look fantastic together ! The monsters make this a perfect quilt for a baby boy, and it will look great in the nursery!

Thank you so much for letting us share your wonderful quilt, Julie! We are so happy that you enjoyed using our Monster Mash Collection. Congratulations to the mommy-to-be; we hope she and her baby boy will enjoy this Lil Monsters Quilt as much as we adore it. You can find out more on Julie’s blog here. Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. It’s rainy and dreary here today, but you know what they say…April Showers bring May Flowers! But for now, to brighten our day we still have our Bright Now Giveaway going on! Today is the last day to enter, so if you haven’t yet – be sure to here!

Today we are bringing to you another stunning quilt tutorial for this week’s How To’s Day! The quilt design we are sharing with you is Quilt Bars by Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis – a simplistic, yet fresh and versatile quilt that works with a multitude of different fabric designs.

The clean cut lines of this quilt design by Tammy give a very modern and geometrically pleasing look, perfect to showcase coordinating fabric colors and patterns. For this tutorial, we have used our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee Collection and the mint & grey patterns compliment each other perfectly in this quilt!

This would be a great quilt to gift, for both genders and any age! We can imagine this quilt with some soft pastels for a “baby’s first quilt” or this quilt in dark navy hues for a boy quilt. So many possibilities! You can get the PDF version of this tutorial on our website, in the our Free Projects Program section, but today we are going to share the tutorial with you on the blog. Be sure to also check out Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis, as well as her Facebook Page, Pinterest, and Etsy!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone! TGIF!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful, sunshine-filled day. If not – we’ve got something to brighten your day! We are giving away a Bright Now Fabric Stack on our Facebook Page this week!

To end this week, we have got our Fan Friday!! Today we’ve got another incredible project to share with you all – Yana from Hemming Birds created a gorgeous half-apron that is absolutely perfect with our Iconic Collection. Yana made this wonderful half-apron as a wedding shower gift for her best friend, Melissa, who resides in New York City.

The design is loosely based on a vintage apron Yana had seen in an antique store. It’s also reversible…AND has pockets (We love ANYTHING with pockets here at CF!). She chose our Iconic Collection for its more modern esthetic, and it is honestly a perfect pairing with this half-apron. And I mean, who wouldn’t want to bake up a batch of oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies in this adorable apron? :)

#CFlovespockets

Yana and her sister-in-law, Jennifer, started their blog Hemming Birds to share their passions for cooking, baking, and sewing as well as mom/family-related topics. Moreover, they will be opening up a handmade shop in May, which will be featuring handmade children’s accessories – bibs, girl’s handbags, backpacks, aprons, and more! They have also posted the tutorial for this half-apron on their blog, so be sure to check it out. What’s even more exciting is that you could win your very own Iconic Apron on their blog – so be sure to enter the giveaway for your chance! This apron makes us want to do some baking and cooking, and we are super excited for whoever wins.

You can also find the wonderful and super creative ladies of Hemming Birds on their blog, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Thank you so much, Yana, for sharing your half-apron with us! It is absolutely stunning and seeing the pictures made our day!! Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and don’t forget to stop by our Facebook Page to enter our Bright Now Giveaway.

Happy Sewing!
